And MCP makes the experience even better. With Odoo MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Odoo with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/odoo/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get: - CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot. - Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Odoo to Codex ### How to install Odoo MCP in Codex ### Run the setup command Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex. ```bash codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is the Odoo MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Odoo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Odoo account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Odoo operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ODOO_CALL_ODOO_JSONRPC` | Odoo JSON-RPC Call | JSON-RPC endpoint for Odoo external API calls. Provides the same functionality as XML-RPC but with JSON encoding. DEPRECATED in v19.0 and scheduled for removal in v20.0 (Fall 2026). Use JSON-2 API at POST /json/2/{model}/{method} instead. | | `ODOO_CREATE_CONTACT` | Create Contact | Create a new contact (customer, supplier, or generic partner) in Odoo's res.partner model. Use this action when you need to add a new person or company to the Odoo database. Set customer_rank > 0 to mark as a customer, supplier_rank > 0 to mark as a supplier, or leave both unset for a generic contact. | | `ODOO_GET_APPLICANT_RESULT` | Get Applicant Parsing Result | Tool to retrieve parsing results for a previously submitted resume/applicant document. Use when you need to check the status and get extracted fields (name, email, phone, mobile) from a resume that was previously submitted for parsing. | | `ODOO_GET_BANK_STATEMENT_RESULT` | Get Bank Statement Result | Tool to retrieve parsing results for a previously submitted bank statement. Returns extracted fields including balance_start, balance_end, date, and bank_statement_lines. Use when you need to check the status and get extracted data from a bank statement document using Odoo's Extract API. | | `ODOO_GET_EXPENSE_RESULT` | Get Expense Extraction Result | Retrieve parsing results for a previously submitted expense document. Returns extracted fields including description, country, date, total, and currency. Use this after submitting an expense document to get the OCR/extraction results. | | `ODOO_GET_INVOICE_RESULT` | Get Invoice Parsing Result | Tool to retrieve parsing results for a previously submitted invoice from Odoo Extract API. Use when you need to check the status and get extracted data from an invoice. Poll this endpoint until the status field is 'success' - processing may take time depending on document complexity. | | `ODOO_LIST_DATABASES` | List Databases | Tool to list all available Odoo databases on the server. Use when you need to see which databases are available on the Odoo instance. | | `ODOO_PARSE_APPLICANT` | Parse Applicant Resume | Tool to submit a resume/CV document for OCR parsing and data extraction via Odoo Extract API. Extracts name, email, phone, and mobile from applicant resumes. Returns a document_token to poll for results. Cost: 1 IAP credit per successful parse. | | `ODOO_PARSE_BANK_STATEMENT` | Parse Bank Statement Document | Tool to submit a bank statement document for OCR parsing and data extraction via Odoo Extract API. Extracts balance_start, balance_end, date, and bank_statement_lines. Returns a document_token to poll for results. Cost: 1 IAP credit per successful parse. | | `ODOO_PARSE_EXPENSE` | Parse Expense Document | Tool to submit an expense document for OCR parsing and data extraction. Extracts description, country, date, total, and currency from expense receipts. Returns a document_token to poll for results. Use when you need to process expense documents using Odoo's Extract API. | | `ODOO_PARSE_INVOICE` | Parse Invoice Document | Tool to submit an invoice document for OCR parsing and data extraction via Odoo Extract API. Uses AI-based algorithms to extract fields like total, due date, invoice lines, VAT numbers, IBAN, supplier, client, and currency. Returns a document_token to poll for results.

Updates one or more records with the specified field values. Supports all Odoo field types including relational fields with command tuples. Use this action when you need to modify existing records in any Odoo model (contacts, leads, orders, invoices, products, etc.). | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Odoo MCP server provides comprehensive access to Odoo operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Odoo actions directly from Codex using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Conclusion You've successfully integrated Odoo with Codex using Composio's MCP server.

With a standalone Odoo MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Odoo tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Odoo and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Codex? Yes, you can. Codex fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Odoo tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Odoo while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Odoo scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Odoo data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) ยท [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
